As everyone said this is a scam.

the money never left his account.
He is trying to con you into giving him a "refund"

and part of the con involves a threat - blackmail.

You should report it to the police.

As for what to say to him when he contacts you - perhaps tell him you have reported it to the police even if you haven't. that might be enough to get him to leave you alone.

Good luck.

Hey girls, I had a client come the other night and he said when he arrived could he transfer. I begrudgingly said yes. He handed me his phone and I put in the bank details and it never came through. The next morning he sent me a video recording of him on the phone with his bank and the customer service person read out my account number with one digit wrong.
What do I do? He claims it was my mistake and that i owe him the money but I believe he needs to do a chargeback with his bank because all the other numbers and name are correct. I offered to send an email to his banks customer services with my details on. He says he doesn’t want the stress and that I need to pay him. He sent me a screenshot of my old car on gov vehicle tax checker he said he found with my details and said he’s getting his money back off me one way or another.

My position is that he needs to go through his bank. I’m sorry in advance this is scrambled I’m just trying to move house and I don’t have a spare £160 but I feel guilty and bad and stressed grrrr.

Are you able to report him in the Warnings section?

This sounds like a great scam: How to steal money from escorts while gaslighting them at the same time. Whenever someone has done a bank transfer I just show them by bank account sort code and let them do it themselves on their phone, if they mistype … it’s their fault, not mine.

If somebody wishes to do a bank transfer l require 10 of it before they come in so it’s set up.


That’s a good idea. Next time I will

I know this is a few weeks old, but I am more curious as to how he got the details of your old car?

Are you sure you weren't specifically targeted for this scam?

Also, just to let you know, a little known secret - bank account numbers aren't sequential.  They are randomly generated to prevent a scenario such as yours happening.

I can bet you that there will never ne a sort code and account number with just one number differential that exists.

He's full of the brown stuff.

Report him to the police to ensure that this scam does not reach another innocent and easily duped sex worker.
